Usha Mary, T.M. | Swaminathan, M.
Biodegradation of Thiocyanate by Free and Immobilized Bacillus brevis was explored. Lignite carbon and Alginate beads have been used as immobilization matrices to study the degradation of thiocyanate with immobilized cells. The rate of thiocyanate degradation is found to be higher by immobilized cells. Cells on lignite carbon matrix are more efficient than cells on alginate beads. The tolerance of the bacteria to the toxic chemical increases by immobilization. Degradation of 100 ppm of thiocyanate was achieved in 20 h by immobilized Bacillus brevis onto lignite carbon. Reduced cost and simplicity make this technique very useful for wastewater treatment.
